Newlyweds Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi could soon be moving into their first marital home and it's, reportedly, the same house where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle lived during the early months of their marriage.
According to Tatler, Princess Beatrice and Edo may occupy Nottingham Cottage within the grounds of Kensington Palace. The place has been vacant since Prince Harry and Meghan moved to Frogmore Cottage in the Windsor estate when they had Archie.
The Nottingham Cottage, also known as "Nott Cott," is a two-bedroom home and is dubbed as the "starter house" for many royal couples. It has a small kitchen, two living rooms, a bathroom and a garden. Prince William and Kate Middleton, also, stayed at this modest home when they still didn't have kids.
This royal home is, also, near to the house of Beatrice's sister, Princess Eugenie, and her husband, Jack Brooksbank. According to Hello, the sisters have a close bond so Beatrice might want to live near Eugenie.
Currently, Princess Beatrice is staying in a St. James Palace apartment in London, which she used to share with Eugenie before she got married and moved out. Edo, apparently, stays over the apartment as well but he also has a home in Chipping Norton, where his mother lives.
During the coronavirus lockdown, Princess Beatrice stayed at Edo's house. Her sister and Jack bunked in with their parents, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, at the Royal Lodge in Windsor.
If Beatrice and Edo decide to move to the starter house, they will not only have Eugenie and Jack as neighbors. Kensington Palace, also, has the Cambridges, and the Queen's cousins, Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, the Duke and Duchess of Kent, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.
Meanwhile, Princess Beatrice and Edo are, reportedly, either still honeymooning in France or now back at home but still under quarantine following their trip abroad. The couple left Britain in early August for their lowkey celebration but they are, apparently, planning a second, more luxurious honeymoon amid the coronavirus restrictions.
Princess Beatrice and Edo were forced to change their wedding plans due to the coronavirus. The couple was supposed to get married and have a garden reception at Buckingham Palace in May but these plans were dropped in accordance with the government's rule to limit mass gatherings.
Once the restrictions eased, Princess Beatrice and Edo had a small and very private wedding at the Royal Chapel of All Saints in Windsor. Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip broke their quarantine to witness this royal affair. Reports stated that Princess Beatrice didn't want to get married without her grandparents' present.
